MiG-17 part 3

I managed to get the Fresco finished during the week and celebrated yesterday's nice weather by taking photos outside. In a crazy twist I went for Romanian markings - one of several Warpact sets which came with the kit.

I have more aircraft coming soon - but not a wing in sight. Start practicing your 'wokka wokka wokka' noises now....

Service Ration DistributionThere goes my best line...Basically the '17 is a more developed '15 - a wee bit bigger and more powerful. And of course it has a much less embarassing NATO codename. Many pilots would feel it's better to fly with a Fresco than a Fagot...

About Me

I built my first plastic kit in about 1971 (an inevitable Airfix Spitfire IX), and can date my wargaming 'career' back to 1977 (aged 11) when in the company of my friends John and Lee I played a simple game with the Airfix (20mm) tanks we had accumulated. Soon a chance find of a couple of Don Featherstone books in the local library revealed that 'grown-ups' did this sort of thing too! I joined Wargame Developments in 1985 and have attended their annual Conference of Wargamers (COW) since 1990. I have also, together with Bob Cordery, been organising it for the past few years. My main interest has always been WW2, with a side order of various postwar conflicts. I also dabble in earlier periods. I am particularly interested in 'operational' level games.
